Wiaan Mulder ne cricket fans ko hairan kar diya jab unhone second Test match mein 367* par lunch ke waqt apni innings declare kar di. Yeh faisla unhon ne isi liye kiya kyunki unka kehna tha: “Lara keeping that record is exactly the way it should be.”

Post-match interview mein Shaun Pollock se baat karte hue Mulder ne kaha,
“Brian Lara is a legend. Uska 400 record kisi bhi young cricketer ke liye unreachable benchmark hona chahiye.”*
Mulder ke mutabiq agar dobara moka mila bhi to woh phir se waise hi karenge.

Mulder ne record books mein apna naam zarur likhwa diya. Woh South Africa ke sirf doosre player ban gaye hain jinhon ne Test cricket mein triple century banayi — pehle Hashim Amla (311*) the. Magar Mulder ne yeh score bhi cross kar diya.

Unka kehna tha ke singing ne unko calm aur focused rakha:
“Zombie by The Cranberries was my song. Har ball ke darmiyan woh gaata raha, taake pressure kam ho.”

Apni pehli ODI 2017 mein khelne wale Mulder ne admit kiya ke us waqt woh ready nahi the:
“Main mentally tayar nahi tha. County cricket in England ne mujhe mature banaya aur apni batting pe kaam karne ka moka diya.”

Unke mutabiq, batting at Wanderers tough hoti hai, aur England jaane se unko apne technical flaws samajhne ka moka mila.

Zimbabwe ke khilaf unki yeh innings South Africa ke liye test jeet ka raasta ban gayi. SA ne 626/5 declare kiya, jiske response mein Zimbabwe sirf 170 bana saka aur follow-on ke baad 51/1 pe stumps hue.

Head coach Shukri Conrad ne kaha,
“Wiaan’s innings was a masterclass in temperament, control aur shot selection. Woh performance poori team ko uplift karne wali thi.”
